The Other Woman Paperback – June 29, 2004

This book was AMAZING! It had so many twist and turns that I couldn't put it down. I finished it in 24 hours. Yes, it was that good. RIP Eric Jerome Dickey.

This book blows you away with its raw emotion. So many twists and turns. I read this book so fast, I didn't even have time to think about what was going to happen next- which is good because the events unfolded unpredictably. I was left with my jaw open on several occasions.Even though the book is entirely in first person the narrator -being nameless throughout- her emotions are crystal clear! Fortunately we are let in on other characters thoughts and feelings through, e-mails, and IMs, the narrators chance encounters, or private conversations and of course her to-the-point-questions!!!!!This story is totally believable, it is apparent that people who are strangers can have an instant bond when thrown together in tragic times. Page 142 is shockingly erotic yet brief, very though provoking stuff- be careful if you happen to stumble upon this page in public.EJD leads the reader to all the clues, but still I (like all the characters in the book) ignored them, and was stunned by the turn the book takes. It was hard for me to remember that the author is male- he was clearly able to zero-in on all of a woman's moods, emotions, tones and complexities. The end was slightly disappointing. I really wanted to see the answers to those questions.... An epilogue would have been nice.Overall this is a great book, not a book to pick up from the library, this is a book to have on your bookshelf in the event you are in the same situation, and you need some help creating your own questions!!! I especially loved the way that EDJ makes references to his old characters- just a snippet or two to let the readers know that they are alive and thriving (Tammy from Cheaters, Kim from MIMC).

I have been searching for books on infidelity written by a male author because I wanted the man's point of view. Most infidelity novels are, naturally, written by women. This is a fast paced, unpredictable, satisfying novel that stretches around and beyond the trope. It is a story within a story and it will make your heart ache, while satisfying your need for revenge and redemption. Good job Mr. Dickey!

Loved it ! Buy it you won’t be disappointed

Amazing book. Great book. Purchased it for friend so she can fall in love with Freckles like I did. I used to want to find a woman like her when I was younger.

This is a 10 stars read love love it but the emotional of having your spouse cheating when you are giving your 110 percent got me .It seems like Charles only went back to his wife because his lover lost the baby it was bad the way things turn out but I am glad she finally find happiness

I have always loved his books. They are so detailed and you feel like you’re apart of the story.

The Other Woman by Eric Jerome Dickey was different, well written, with good storytelling, depth, sex, and twists. Dickey's unique way of writing this novel was ingenious.All the named characters were important to the story and their relationships with each other were complex, raw, adulterous, but also thought-provoking throughout. Why this, what about that, what does this certain acronym that was used mean (hehehe), would I go to a place like that, could this have played out differently were all things I questioned while reading, and all these things combined made this book a 4 star read for me.READ, RELAX and RELATE!

EJD never disappoints. This is one of his best.

Took me 2 days to read this book.I love Dickeys books and his way to discribe everything that good that u feel like u r a part of this story.Great great great

I am not one of EJD's fans but after reading this astonding book I have just become one. This book has a risky edge and does not have any conventional elements at all. EJD has taken cheating on another spouse to a whole different level, EJD makes it a thriller rather than a love story that falls apart. Due to this uniqueness we are given the chance to decide who we side with in the tunnel of revenge in the book, we are not propagated to one character or made to like another. The storyline is very strong, nothing is imitated and we are allowed to foretell what may happen, which isn't the same with other books based on adultery.I salut you EJD, you done magnificently well.

結婚をしている人も、していない人も、浮気をされるたことがある人も無い人もきっとストーリーに惹きこまれてしまうでしょう。浮気をした男女、された男女の４人の心理がとてもリアルに書かれていて、本を置くことが出来ませんでした。彼の本はどれもお薦めだけど、この本がいままでで一番でした。

great read! love this author.
